You can link Aadhaar number with PAN online by visiting the Income Tax Department’s e-filing portal incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in
You have to click on the “link Aadhaar” option on the portal’s homepage to proceed. On the following page, you have to enter details such as full name along with your PAN and Aadhaar numbers.
In case only your birth year is mentioned on your Aadhaar card, you have to tick the square. After this, enter the captcha code for verification.
After entering the captcha code, click on the “Link Aadhaar” icon.
A pop-up message will appear indicating that your Aadhaar has been successfully linked with your PAN.
Linking Aadhaar with PAN by sending an SMS
